The book " The "Anahid" Paradise" was written by Dr. Seyed Amir Mansouri, Associate Professor of the Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Tehran, and Dr. Mohammad Atashinbar, Assistant Professor of the Department of Horticultural Sciences, University of Tehran, in collaboration with a scientific team, and was published in 2023 by Nazar Art, Architecture and Urban Planning Research Institute Publications. This book is the result of studies and design by a team of 30 experts from Nazar Research Institute on the "Anahid Campus" project in Qeshm. It was carried out with a scientific and creative program by forming four study groups in the fields of planning, ecology, economics and tourism within a coherent program. The project is dedicated to three levels of study: conceptualization of the landscape capacities of Qeshm, evaluation and compilation of basic approaches and experiences of similar and successful global projects, and planning and definition of joint activities between the needs of Qeshm and the proposals of researchers. The result of the work, while taking advantage of new architectural achievements, and considering the values of "the island's natural environment as a registered geopark" and "the historical landscape of Qeshm as the gateway to the mainland" which contains a valuable plurality of local and global identities, provides new ideas of an integrated and creative space. This book, in five chapters, presents a detailed report of the study process in order to document the measures and serve as a model for improving the method of addressing the process of creating space and defining the project.
